Once again, immigration is shown to be a burden on the British tax payers.

I await some idiot telling us that some of these people were granted British citizenship like that makes it all OK.

This has to stop. If you can't support yourself in the UK, don't come. It's as simple as that!

I’ve heard that they ring-fence Reform voters’ tax money specifically to pay for them, too.

They sequester the bank accounts of deported drug dealers.

If we scrap the BBC Tax we can use the savings to pay for migrants 😀

It’s pretty clear you have no idea how the system actually works. Those who acquire further leave to remain, aka settled status, must pay thousands in visa fees for the privilege, can then work and pay taxes. That some struggle to obtain work and need to rely on benefits, at least for a while, is hardly that surprising.

Not necessarily.

If you cannot afford the fee, you can apply for a fee waiver as part of the online application process.

Only in very limited circumstances. I don’t know how many such applications succeed but I bet it’s not too many.

Most applicants will have a sponsor who is expected to help them.

Bit of a comic really! Laugh a minute
bull s*** which would be funny if it wasn’t so f***ing sad !

I guess this could have gone in the immigration thread, but it seems particularly significant while we are paying more income tax, council tax is increasing, pensioners and farmers are being screwed, welfare for the disabled is being scrutinised and we still have inheritance tax. None of this includes the cost of housing illegals or the strain on services, prisons and policing.

Where are those benefits of immigration?

Dealing with the problem of illegal migration needs to be kept completely separate from this discussion. All it does is muddy the water and wind people up.

By all means discuss it and try to find practical ways to reduce it. Everyone could agree about the need to do that.

We aren’t though considering that. We are discussing legal migration.

If you don't want to discuss it then ignore it but the parameters of any subject aren't your decision and it's all a net cost to the country.

Record numbers are claiming asylum once they have arrived here legally. So why pay when you can stay for free.
